[@majorkursk780]

Your 1/48 scale models are simply incredible!

[@gregoryrush3878]

Thanks for the text telling what product you are using at each step. That helps very much.

[@dannymontoya9469]

I love your attention to detail makes your project really pop like a1:1 shrunk down

[@ejm109cia]

Greetings from NYC David, I say this to let you know that your tutorials are making difference for Modelers all over the world and I learn something new with every video When I saw the word "engine" I thought it was going to be the Fockewulf BMW, I have the Eduard Fockewulf 190 F8 kit but it waits for your radial engine tutorial, the work you did on that engine was simply incredible! But then again so is all of your work Once again Thank You for taking the time to share!

[@RobotJeeg]

You are the only one I click "I like it" even before looking at the video! And I never regret this choice!

[@wakemanedwards3450]

beautiful custom painting and detailing as always!

[@christopherguy9591]

I enjoy watching you build British aircraft. I am right know building a Tamiya spitfire mk.3.

[@EZRider1979]

Simply Amazing, truly a work of art.

[@mybluebelly]

You know a good way of getting paint on those small details if you want to paint your stock plastic control panel/dashboard is to paint a hard flat area white and as long as you make sure there is only a small amount of paint, after the black paint you can press the dashboard onto the area with the white paint. The raised details will now have a coat of white ! :)

[@jcsrst]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@oguzcangokce7636]

I'm dazzled, impressed as always amazing work dude ! :)

[@cf6282]

Excellent job! Nice to see how you do it. I still have my P51 to do. Now i know how to do the details.

[@francispare1310]

Great work ! As always. You should do an extended video of this with even morte explanations So Nice to see you ré work

[@darrenleow7691]

It’s so good. Really true work of art.

[@spenner3529]

The ignition wires are brilliant.

[@RukaSubCh]

That looks beautiful . Wow just wow .

[@divyajnana]

Fun to watch a pro working, thank you.

[@popoliodiego]

Jaw dropping in Spain. Thank You.

[@pux0rb]

Absolutely gorgeous engine

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Excellent paint clinic!! I enjoy your videos so much!! Cheers

[@JeffreyStrader]

Excellent job David!

[@johndavey72]

Superb detailing !

[@jjab99]

That was just amazing and so realistic too. Well done mate.

[@XF15DCC]

Outstanding work! Always waiting for your next video.

[@The_last_prime]

Nicely done

[@emile1365]

Gorgeous. I take it the pigments were fixed in place with Pigment fixer as well as water?

[@ozgundemirr]

you could also add some oil leaks and grease to the engine

[@jeangalibert8283]

Well job! Why dont you use the same technic when you paint the copkit ? Use two base color to create more shadow?

[@david.j.e.norman-hedges8709]

I have found all your video's very very instructive.I have one question, why do you not paint the piece's BEFORE construction?

[@voodoonights1671]

Lovely work - really superb.

[@oldmanwina]

i wish the trumpeter kit had this detail on the engine

[@dashwerks]

Beautiful work!

[@luis7190]

Congratulations for your great job. What kind of brushes do you use for painting the small details, i mean, what size?

[@Adamslee72]

great tutorial David is tgat an Eduard resin engine you have used for this demo only curious but I really enjoy your vids and full builds top stuff bud kutgw cheers 😎😃

[@benscarping2941]

Would you have any tips for building 1/24 scale merlin engines as I am building 2 of them for a build project, they are a little more detailed than the one showcased in this video by the way. I also want to say that your videos have inspired me to be better at scalemodeling and to try new techniques that I never would of thought about before, my models have been getting much more realistic as I have been watching your videos, thanks

[@bryanpkulisch]

I'd really like to see you do the Remora from Industria Mechanika.

[@MaxLenormand]

Once again, an awesome video! I really like your work, and your videos! I watch your videos while I model, I just love the music! ;)

[@bpezzano1]

Outstanding!

[@derykian6029]

Do you think you can tone down the music volume a bit? It's hard to hear you when the music is at a good volume.

[@seelowe1692]

You are nice I bought already 4 airbrushes and i've done something false because all were destroid I dont know what was that and iam very angry Thanks for your tips

[@stephentebbutt7161]

Hi David out of all your models do you have one that stands out more than the others. Also do you build RC planes and fly. i enjoy your videos.cheers

[@charlieeagle109]

How on earth did you manage to write the rolls Royce logo by hand. Is it the result of a lot of practice and if so any tips or simply a natural skill?

[@Slamdoxicalz]

0:58 not really writing :D

[@charlieeagle109]

I CANT BELIEVE I AM THAT STUPID

[@_stax_7168]

fantastic!

[@davidbrunner4413]

all of your works are amazing, wish you would do more modern american machines like abrams and bradley and B-1 lancer and so on

[@flavirostris1972]

How would you recommend painting the cable features on a bf109e engine, which is painted black enamel? The instructions show the cable detail painted in gunmetal ( 56 ) but they are really narrow and hard to paint using a brush.

[@Fousjo97]

Skvělá práce :)

[@bogdanradulescu5156]

Hello... question..for one DB from Eduard 1/32 for one Me109 Revell. So concerning the engine i have to put all parts together and paint black etc like you did or i have to paint some parts like hoses etc before? what do you reccomend? Thank's in advance.

[@JuanAdam12]

That brush you're using looks like it holds paint well and is very controllable. Can you tell us what brush that is?

[@idaemonplasmo]

Tamiya Standard Pointed Paint Brush Small

[@JuanAdam12]

That's a Tamiya?? Thank you.

[@wardudemoreno7830]

+PLASMO - plastic models a bro do one of the Uss Arizona ship model please

[@wardudemoreno7830]

+PLASMO - plastic models also good job man👍👍.

[@bogdanradulescu5156]

what type if brushes i must buy for the detailing? The very fine ones...

[@calebnichols7509]

what kind of brushes are you using? They look like calligraphy brushes?

[@quantumplastic]

You r the BOSS......

[@andrewerion8552]

seeing this video made me think about the old revell spitfire mk 2 that I converted to a PR mk 1. I scratch made an engine similar to that with polystyrene sheet and some spare road wheels from a Panzer IV. It is not half as good as that engine.

[@Gullyrats]

What do you say at 4 minutes, what’s applied after black panel lines ?

[@johndejac73]

Insane!

[@markosolic8191]

Dry brush

[@WaRn00b85]

Hi David, thanks for the informative video as always. A quick question, when applying your pigments, how do they adhere to the model to make it a permanent fixture?

[@idaemonplasmo]

You can use pigment fixer. www.anticsonline.co.uk/l.aspx?k=2998285

[@skyking7964]

Now how did you make the fuel tank ????

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

A really stupid question: Can you actually listen to this music when you are painting the small details? BTW your micromotor skills are quite remarkable.

[@idaemonplasmo]

I listen to rock or classical music during painting. In a video, I must use only not commercial music and it is very limited.

[@stephenbryant2240]

Just got a 1/24 spitfire in pieces it's missing alot it seems like

[@gabrielbarile73]

Clear varnish is brillant? satin?

[@abhishekbehal9359]

What kind of brush did you use for detailing?

[@miroslavkapusta2967]

krasna praca ako vzdy, chcem sa opytat ako bojujes s prachom aby ti nepopadal na cerstvo nastriekany model? mne vzdy nejaka ta mala ciastocka tam spadne aj ked farba schne dost rychlo.

[@idaemonplasmo]

Tak buď to můžeš zafixovat x-20 nebo tekutým resinem jmenuje se to pigment fixer. Třeba mig dělá takovou modrou lahvičku.

[@miroslavkapusta2967]

asi som to zle napisal, myslel som normalny prach co je v izbe aby nebol na povrchu ale spadne mi na model vzdy nejaka ciastocka a neviem ako to odstranit :)

[@idaemonplasmo]

Jsem četl jiný komentář s pigmenty a nějak automaticky jsem reagoval i na toto :-D Jen trochu mimo téma. S barvou není až tak problém pokud na to spadne smítko. To jde jednoduše sbrousit jemným smirkem. Stejně tak u lakování. Jen tam je nutné si dávat pozor aby se smirek neprodřel na plast. To už se špatně přebarvuje. Momentálně jsem si koupil stříkací box, který žene všechny výpary a prach z barvy pryž z místnosti. Funguje to i na částečky prachu, které to odsaje dříve než se dostanou k modelu.

[@AndreyYazo]

Could someone explain how David uses GX100 Super Clear III coat after as it has different from aclrylic base and might melt the acrlylic XF69 coat of water-based paint?

[@idaemonplasmo]

Hello, Tamiya Xf-69 is not pure acrylic but acrylic-layer and is not water-based. However, you can use super clear III also on Vallejo, citadel water-based colors without problems. GX100 is lacquer varnish buy is not aggressive for other types of colors if you will spray one or two soft layers first.

[@AndreyYazo]

@@idaemonplasmothank you. and what type of mr. color solvent do you use for GX100?

[@idaemonplasmo]

@@AndreyYazo I use Mr color leveling thinner. Ratio 1 part of varnish and 4 parts of thinner. I have 0,2 mm airbrush nozzle

[@Inbusboutje]

Where did u get those small pencils?

[@elizabethmccray2831]

What Air Brush are you using?

[@alecksjonez769]

What adhesive are you using here? Thanks for your vids!!

[@idaemonplasmo]

I used super glue for resin and metal parts.

[@kurtoatway]

what are the brushes you are using to paint the detail on your engines? i cant seem to find anything like it anywhere.

[@idaemonplasmo]

Tamiya pointed brush small. www.amazon.com/Tamiya-87017-Pointed-Brush-Small/dp/B000BMYWY2

[@redbaronmodeling]

what sized brush do you use

[@Spacklatard]

If this is supposed to be a Merlin engine the prop blades are rotating the wrong way

[@WorldsLastFronteir]

What do you use to hold the parts, is it clay?

[@idaemonplasmo]

I use Kores gumfix.

[@mikeyt3516]

Nice, but oh dear Lord that music! I lasted four minutes.

[@keith3660]

Can anyone tell me where I can get the petrol tank? Thanks.

[@idaemonplasmo]

That was a scratch build from plastic boards.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIWcoqCem714e8km56s

[@keith3660]

Yes, I realised that soon after commenting but many thanks for your response. It is a superb addition to the model. The pilot virtually had a huge tank of aviation fuel in their lap. Loved the video.

[@erickicastillo3539]

Where do you get this white oil paint from?

[@idaemonplasmo]

I used ordinary art oil paint. Umton or 502 Abteilung. www.umton.cz/index.php?lang=en&call=olej&local=

[@erickicastillo3539]

PLASMO - plastic models what syringes do you use so the paint goes exactly where you what it?

[@idaemonplasmo]

H&S Infinity with 0,15 mm nozzle

[@erickicastillo3539]

PLASMO - plastic models was the white lettering with the oil paint with a brush?

[@idaemonplasmo]

yes

[@johnndale1783]

If you wish to be prototypical Rolls-Royce engines are painted in an 80% gloss black this means everything. ignition leads were often black cotton braided and the name was never painted in. Boring I know and does not make for interesting models but id you wish to be a rivet counter that is how you should paint a Merlin. How do I know? I have access to an un-restored Merlin.

[@JosephHallenbeck]

Please, would you be so kind and share the unrestored Merlin shots with us? Searching the original colors and paint of the Spitfire internal parts.

[@davidsmith1898]

I couldn't resist painting the Rolls Royce lettering in my 1/32 Tamiya spit Merlin's rocker covers. It ain't prototypical but it impresses more visitors that way, usually what they comment on. i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac358/Bebebeelzeubub/spit10.jpg

prosím natačej česky natačel jsi česky sleduju te o prvniho videa prosím natačej česky

[@idaemonplasmo]

Bohužel českých shlédnutí není ani jedno procento, a proto se musím přizpůsobit většině. Ke každému vidu dávám české titulky, ale zatím jsem ještě neměl čas. Možná dnes večer je tam hodím.
